Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Virtavia's policy for Steam is this (from their website here): "A Steam Edition version is now also available, which follows our usual format of having a single-variant 'Main' package and a separate 'DLC' package with all the other variants."
So, you pay once for the model and again (separately) for a choice of skins -- possibly with some extra models.

Sorry, you didn't spell the company name correctly so I thought it was something else.
Virtavia products on Steam have no marking because that is the way Dovetail Games wanted them. It bothers me as much as anyone because a lot of them were my textures.
It was just recently that DTG started allowing military insignia but for some reason still will not allow the use of "Navy" and "Marines" on the textures.
So far Virtavia has not deemed it worthwhile to update the textures at Steam to at least have stars-n-bars let alone my well researched unit markings.
But aside from that I don't know why anyone would buy from Steam when they are all typically available on sale somewhere else.
The issue with versions bought on Steam is that they are encrypted and cannot be used anywhere else. And those bought anywhere else have full markings.
But if you have bought a steam version and want some markings there are repaints everywhere including here.
